I made a lot of stars in different sizes and colours.I sold them, gave them to my children and hang some in my own Christmas tree.I was in time with the preparations for Christmas because last Wednesday I got my first chemo-therapy agains a chronicle lymphathic leukemia also called indolent non-hodgkin lymfoom.I will get 6 therapies with intervals of three weeks and also for two years an immuno-therapy.It will be heavy, I will loose my hair, and my whole body will join the party. At this moment I'm rather fine.I hope I will have time in between to do something with fabrics and yarns or some other creations and when not I have still a lot of books to read. I also have some workhops and I hope I can join them.I wish all of you fine Christmas days and a very happy New Yearew
